Podcasts about Alfred Nobel

“The Merchant of Death is Dead!” That was the headline for an obituary that may have caused Alfred Nobel, the inventor of dynamite, to make a course correction in his life. But the newspaper made a mistake—Alfred was very much alive. It was his brother Ludvig who had died. When Alfred realized he’d be remembered for a dangerous invention that claimed many lives, he decided to donate most of his significant wealth to establishing an award for those who had benefitted humanity. It became known as the Nobel Prize. More than two thousand years earlier, another powerful man had a change of heart. Manasseh, king of Judah, rebelled against God. As a result, he was taken captive to Babylon. But “in his distress he sought the favor of the Lord,” and “when he prayed,” God “brought him back to Jerusalem and to his kingdom” (2 Chronicles 33:12-13). Manasseh spent the rest of his rule in peace, serving God and doing his best to undo the wrongs he’d done before. “The Lord was moved” by Manasseh’s prayer (v. 13). God responds to humility. When we realize we need to make a change in the way we’re living and turn to Him, He never turns us away. He meets us with grace we don’t deserve and renews us with the self-giving love He poured out at the cross. New beginnings begin with Him.

Bertha von Suttner var det sena 1800-talets galjonsfigur i kampen för fred. Hennes roman "Ned med vapnen" blev en bästsäljare. Genom fredskongresser och internationella domstolar ville hon skapa fred i världen. Idéer som inspirerade Alfred Nobel till fredspriset och la grunden för idén om internationella institutioner för att bevara freden i världen.

Last time in our two-part look at the life and achievements of Swedish inventor and businessman Alfred Nobel, we covered his life and contributions to science and business. This time we are looking at the prizes named after him. Why does Norway award the Nobel Peace Prize, why was the Swedish king angry about this, who has won the most Nobel Prizes and why has Åsa interviewed a prize winner? All this and more in this episode! We mention Norwegian writer and Nobel Literature Prize winner Bjørnstjerne Bjørnson in this episode. Here he is!

The first in a two-part special about famous Swedish inventor Alfred Nobel. We look at the life of the man who opened more factories than anyone could count! This biography looks into his exploits, inventions and explosions, from his childhood to last days spent in Italy. Next time we'll dive deep into the history of the famous prizes created by him by his will.

Alfred Nobel's original plans for his famous prize included physics, chemistry, medicine, and literature. But not peace. He thought the peace movement was ridiculous, a bunch of dreamers with no workable plan. But his friend Bertha von Suttner was the most famous person in the peace movement, and she played a big role in changing his mind.

Today on Like It Matters Radio Mr. Black wants listeners to consider the grand question: “How do you want to be remembered?” Dr. Covey wrote a billion-dollar book called, “The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People”. Mr. Black will focus on his second habit, “Begin with the end in Mind”. Distance reflection is a powerful way to create the seeds of change within. When we look at our lives from the end, it looks different! Sometimes a change of position creates a change of perspective. When we change our perspective, we change our reality and change our lives. Today Mr. Black will include much in his encouraging talk. You will hear about Steve Jobs, Alfred Nobel, Socrates and Jesus.

Daron Acemoglu är kanske den av pristagarna som var mest tippad. Vi besöker honom vid MIT och hör om hur världens ekonomi vältes över ända för flera hundra år sedan, hur AI kan påverka arbetsmarknaden och kopplingen till fotbollsklubben Galatasaray. Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radio Play. Programmet sändes första gången 30/12-2024.Han skriver mängder av vetenskapliga artiklar och bästsäljande böcker om ekonomi och teknologi, och tidsspannet går från det tidigast möjliga till framtiden för arbetsmarknaden nu när AI väntas revolutionera de flesta branscher.Daron Acemoglu är den mest kände av årets tre mottagare av Riksbankens pris i ekonomisk vetenskap till Alfred Nobels minne, och hans intresse för den forskning som han nu belönas för väcktes redan i tonåren, påverkat av situationen i hans hemland Turkiet.Han belönas för sin forskning om varför arvet efter kolonialismen är en så viktig faktor bakom skillnader i välstånd mellan olika länder, och hur de länder som en gång i tiden var bland de rikaste nu blivit de fattigaste.Medverkande: Daron Acemoglu, professor vid MIT Economics, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Cambridge, USA.Reporter: Björn Gunérbjorn.guner@sr.seProducent: Lars Broströmlars.brostrom@sr.se

I detta tankeväckande avsnitt utforskar Henrik den historiska marken vid Vinterviken, platsen där Alfred Nobel en gång skapade dynamiten. Medan han vandrar genom det nu fridfulla landskapet väver han samman berättelser om innovation och förstörelse, liv och död. Hans reflektioner kring Nobels envisa sprängningslust, trots personliga tragedier, leder till djupare funderingar kring människans drivkrafter och paradoxer. Henrik låter oss följa med genom ett landskap där historiens ekon möter nutidens stillhet, där explosionernas dån har ersatts av fågelkvitter och där tid och rum vävs samman i en meditation över förändringens kraft.För mer information om Henrik Ståhl, klicka här: https://linktr.ee/Henrikstahl Vill du slippa reklamen?

Under åren 1870 till 1970 gick Sverige från att vara ett av de fattigaste länderna i Europa till det fjärde rikaste landet i världen. Sveriges industrialisering kom sent, men blev oerhört framgångsrik. Svenska innovationer skulle sprida sig över världen.Grunden var tydlig äganderätt, jordbruksreformer, allmän folkskola samt näringsfrihet.Tillväxtmaskinen började inte hacka förrän på 1970-talet när oljekrisen, skattetryck och allt fler regleringar blev början på Sveriges fall från toppen.I detta avsnitt av podden Historia Nu samtalar programledaren Urban Lindstedt med Andreas Bergh, lektor vid nationalekonomiska institutionen vid Lunds universitet. Han har skrivit boken Den kapitalistiska välfärdsstaten.Forskningen visar att Sverige kunde kombinera effektiv kapitalism med en utvecklad välfärdsstat tack vare stabila spelregler och en rationell arbetsfördelning mellan politik och näringsliv. Flera faktorer bidrog till Sveriges ekonomiska framgång under denna hundraårsperiod:Under 1800-talet genomfördes omfattande reformer som moderniserade Sverige. En av de mest betydelsefulla var införandet av näringsfrihet 1864, vilket avskaffade gamla skråsystem och öppnade upp för entreprenörskap. Demokratins utveckling, med rösträttsreformer och en starkare riksdag, skapade också stabila institutioner som gynnade långsiktig ekonomisk tillväxt.Införandet av folkskolan 1842 och en stark satsning på teknisk utbildning, som Chalmers tekniska högskola och Kungliga Tekniska högskolan, lade grunden för en välutbildad arbetskraft. Teknologiska innovationer, som Alfred Nobels uppfinning av dynamiten och Lars Magnus Ericssons telekommunikationsteknik, stärkte Sveriges konkurrenskraft på den globala marknaden.Sveriges rikliga naturresurser – skogar, järnmalm och vattenkraft – spelade en avgörande roll i industrialiseringen. Tack vare export av högkvalitativt stål, pappersmassa och andra industriprodukter växte den svenska ekonomin i snabb takt. Svenska företag som SKF, ASEA och senare Volvo och Ericsson blev globala aktörer och symboler för svensk industriexport.Under 1930-talet etablerades det så kallade "Saltsjöbadsavtalet", en kompromiss mellan arbetsgivare och fackföreningar som bidrog till en stabil arbetsmarknad. Denna samförståndsanda mellan arbetsmarknadens parter, tillsammans med en stark socialdemokratisk politik, gjorde att Sverige kunde kombinera hög tillväxt med relativt små inkomstklyftor.Under 1900-talet lade Sverige stor vikt vid att bygga upp ett omfattande välfärdssystem, vilket inkluderade sjukvård, pensioner och utbildning. Detta bidrog till att stärka den sociala sammanhållningen och skapa en arbetskraft som både var frisk och välutbildad.Bild: Gjuteriet vid Bolinders kring 1890.

¡Hola, oyentes! Es hora de una nueva Historia Valiente.

Nous sommes le 10 décembre 1901, à Oslo. C'est pour récompenser « la personnalité ou la communauté ayant le plus ou le mieux contribué au rapprochement des peuples, à la suppression ou à la réduction des armées permanentes, à la réunion et à la propagation des progrès pour la paix » selon les volontés, définies par testament, d'Alfred Nobel, chimiste, industriel, fabricant d'armes suédois et inventeur de la dynamite, qu'est remis le premier prix Nobel de la paix. Il est décerné au suisse, Henri Dunant, pour son rôle dans la fondation du Comité international de la Croix-Rouge et au français, Frédéric Passy, organisateur du premier Congrès Universel de la Paix. Depuis la liste s'est allongée et les noms qui y figurent n'ont pas tous fait l'unanimité auprès de l'opinion internationale. Aung San Suu Kyi, nobélisée en 1991, est aujourd'hui au centre des critiques, en raison de son quasi mutisme sur le sort des Rohingyas, cette minorité musulmane persécutée en Birmanie. Avant elle, d'autres prix Nobel de la paix ont été contestée dont le Secrétaire d'Etat américain,, récompensé en 1973. Revenons sur ce cas et quelques autres … avec Vincent Genin, historien Sujets traités : Alfred Nobel, paix, Henri Dunant, Croix-Rouge, Frédéric Passy, Aung San Suu Kyi, Henry Kissinger Merci pour votre écoute Un Jour dans l'Histoire, c'est également en direct tous les jours de la semaine de 13h15 à 14h30 sur www.rtbf.be/lapremiere Retrouvez tous les épisodes d'Un Jour dans l'Histoire sur notre plateforme Auvio.be :https://auvio.rtbf.be/emission/5936 Intéressés par l'histoire ?

Die Brüder von Alfred Nobel bauten die ersten Öltanker und brachten die Ölpipelines ins heutige Aserbaidschan. Ausserdem: Wie es um Antibiotikaresistenzen in der Schweiz steht. Und: Wir Menschen sind erstaunlich gut im Schnüffeln. Wo weiter resistente Bakterien lauern Aktuelle Schätzungen zeigen: noch immer sterben in der Schweiz jedes Jahr etwa 300 Menschen an Infektionen, die sich nicht mehr mit Antibiotika behandeln lassen. Woher kommen diese Erreger? Und wie will man sie besser unter Kontrolle bringen? Neue Zahlen des Bundes zu Antibiotika-Resistenzen geben eine mögliche Richtung vor. (Cathrin Caprez) Einmal Schnüffeln genügt Der Duft von frischem Brot oder einem geliebten Menschen. Der Geruch von gewaschener Bettwäsche oder einer gemähten Wiese - die meisten von uns sind wohl unmittelbar berührt, wenn sie solches erschnüffeln. Trotzdem wird der menschliche Geruchssinn noch immer unterschätzt. Zu Unrecht - wie eine Studie im Fachmagazin "nature human behaviour" zeigt. Menschen sind nämlich überraschend schnelle und präzise Schnüffler. (Katharina Bochsler) Alfred Nobel und das Öl aus Baku Die Brüder von Alfred Nobel bauten die ersten Öltanker und brachten die Ölpipelines ins heutige Aserbaidschan. Alfred Nobel unterstützte sie tatkräftig und investierte bis zur Hälfte seines Vermögens aus der Dynamitproduktion ins Ölgeschäft. Die Nobelpreise haben damit auch eine fossile Vergangenheit.

On Big Brains, we get to speak to a lot of groundbreaking scholars and experts, but some conversations we walk away knowing we've just heard from someone who is really changing the world. We certainly felt that way years ago after talking to University of Chicago scholar James Robinson, and it turns out…the Nobel Prize committee agreed in 2024 when it awarded him a share of the Sveriges Riksbank Prize in Economic Sciences in Memory of Alfred Nobel.Robinson was honored for the exact work that we talked to him about nearly five years ago. The author of numerous best-selling books, including Why Nations Fail (2012) and The Narrow Corridor (2019), he won the Nobel this year because his work researching what makes nations succeed and…what makes them fail. There's no better time to refamiliarize ourselves with his important research and celebrate his Nobel win.

James Robinson, a political scientist and economist, is the Pearson Professor of Global Conflict Studies at The University of Chicago. Robinson is the co-author, with Daron Acemoglu, of Why Nations Fail and The Narrow Corridor.  Today, The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences announced that it would award the 2024 Sveriges Riksbank Prize in Economic Sciences in Memory of Alfred Nobel to James Robinson, Daron Acemoglu, and Simon Johnson “for studies of how institutions are formed and affect prosperity.” In this week's conversation, originally released in 2019, Yascha Mounk and James Robinson discuss the importance of political institutions; the roots of freedom and prosperity; and how citizens can beat the historical odds to improve their countries.

Le chimiste et industriel multimillionnaire Alfred Nobel fabriquait des armes, mais il souhaitait ardemment la paix. À sa mort, il a surpris ses proches : son testament stipulait que son immense fortune devait récompenser le savoir et la paix. Yves Gingras, professeur d'histoire et de sociologie des sciences, retrace son parcours.

For physicists, chemists, diplomats, medical researchers, and even writers, the Nobel Prize represents the ultimate accolade. Since Their inception in 1901, the purpose has been to honour those who "during the preceding year, shall have conferred the greatest benefit on mankind", in their respective fields. Now that wording comes from the will of Alfred Nobel himself, which was signed in November 1895 in Paris. The Swedish chemist and industrialist held over 350 scientific patents during his lifetime, with dynamite being the invention that made him extraordinarily wealthy. Why winning a nobel prize is a double-edged sword? What causes winners to veer off course? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!

Wenig Diversität bei den Nobelpreisen – Die wichtigsten Forschungspreise der Welt werden oft an Männer aus den USA und Westeuropa vergeben. Dabei funktioniert wissenschaftliche Arbeit in der Regel nur im Team und im internationalen Austausch.

L'automne est la saison des récompenses, au cours de laquelle sont notamment décernés le prix Goncourt et les différents prix Nobel. Concernant ces derniers, il existe d'ailleurs une curieuse lacune. En effet, Alfred Nobel, qui a donné son nom à ce prestigieux palmarès, a prévu un prix Nobel de la paix, un autre pour la littérature, ainsi que diverses récompenses dans des disciplines scientifiques, comme la médecine, la chimie ou la physique. Mais, dans son testament, qui a mis en place cette prestigieuse distribution de récompenses, on ne trouve nulle trace d'un prix Nobel de mathématiques. Pourquoi cette étonnante omission ? Cette absence des mathématiques a d'abord reçu des explications assez fantaisistes. On a ainsi prétendu que, si Alfred Nobel avait écarté les mathématiques de la liste de ses prix, c'était en raison de l'infidélité de sa femme. En effet, elle l'aurait trompé avec un mathématicien suédois, Gösta Mittag-Leffler, qui a notamment donné son nom à un important théorème mathématique. Le problème, c'est que Nobel ne s'est jamais marié ! Malgré tout, cet ostracisme pour les mathématiques viendrait bien de Mittag-Leffler. En effet, Alfred Nobel l'aurait détesté, non parce qu'il aurait été l'amant de sa femme, mais pour des raisons personnelles mal déterminées. Une hypothèse réfutée par certains scientifiques, qui nient l'existence d'une quelconque inimitié entre les deux mathématiciens. D'autres explications, plus probantes, ont été avancées. La plus simple est que l'existence de récompenses spécifiques, réservées aux mathématiques, rendrait inutile l'attribution d'un prix Nobel dans cette discipline. Du vivant même d'Alfred Nobel existait déjà un prix renommé, décerné par le Roi de Suède. Une tradition qui s'est perpétuée jusqu'à nos jours. En effet, des récompenses internationales prestigieuses récompensent les mathématiciens, à commencer par la célèbre médaille Fields, justement considérée comme l'équivalent du prix Nobel. Mais il existe encore une autre distinction tout aussi réputée, le prix Abel, décerné chaque année par l'Académie norvégienne des sciences et des lettres. On pourrait encore citer d'autres récompenses, comme le prix Fermat ou le prix Wolf, qui peuvent rendre assez superflue l'attribution d'un prix Nobel de mathématiques. Hébergé par Acast.

Founders ✓ Claim The name of Nobel usually calls to mind Alfred Nobel, inventor of dynamite, and the internationally prestigious prizes that bear his name. But Alfred was only one member of a creative and innovative family who built an industrial empire in prerevolutionary Russia. The saga begins with an emigre from Sweden, Immanuel Nobel, who was an architect, a pioneer producer of steam engines, and a maker of weapons.Immanuel's sons included Alfred; Robert, who directed the family's activities in the Caspian oil fields; and Ludwig, an engineering genius and manufacturing magnate whose boundless energy and fierce determination created the Russian petroleum industry.Ludwig's son Emanuel showed similar mettle, shrewdly bargaining with the Rothschilds for control of the Russian markets and competing head-on with Standard Oil and Royal Dutch Shell for lucrative world markets.Perhaps no family in history has played so decisive a role in building an industrial empire in an underdeveloped but resource-rich nation. Yet the achievements of the Nobel family have been largely forgotten. When the Bolsheviks came to power, Emmanuel had to flee the country disguised as a peasant.The Nobel empire with its 50,000 workers lay in ruins. An empire which had taken eighty years to design and build, was nearly destroyed, bringing a sudden and bitter end to one of the most remarkable industrial odysseys in world history.This episode is what I learned from reading The Russian Rockefellers: The Saga of the Nobel Family and the Russian Oil Industry by Robert Tolf.----Make history's greatest entrepreneurs proud by going to Ramp and learning how they can help your business control your costs and save more. ----Founders Notes gives you the superpower to learn from history's greatest entrepreneurs on demand.

Today we're going to take a look at the explosive legacy of an individual that we're all familiar with - or at least familiar with his creations. The enigmatic figure that we are about to explore is an inventor, philanthropist, ruthless industrialist, and also a major representative of peace in the contemporary age.  This man's most significant invention, dynamite, revolutionized the world at its creation, allowing for efficient construction, quickened the development of transportation systems, and enabled the process of mining in much greater volume;  however, it also drastically changed military strategies, showing the World the extensive possibilities for destruction that exist.  Following this invention, his rise to wealth and power was incredible; however, a moral conundrum nagged at our figure as the feeling of responsibility ate away at him until he decided to make the change from merchant of death to an advocate of peace, with the creation of, spoiler alert, the Nobel Peace Prize.  Today's podcast - we're going to take a look at Alfred Nobel. We're going to explore his life, the things that influenced him and the compelling story of how the Nobel Peace Prize came to be - so strap in for this Missing Chapter profile!
